Garmin glass-bridge refit on the New River

Helm refits, radar sightlines, and yard coordination for a Garmin suite on a Fort Lauderdale yacht.

A Garmin glass bridge on the New River is a one-week story only in the sales deck. Cable runs through a teak house, radar placement against a tuna tower, and the yard’s willingness to keep the yacht on the wall while the screens are dark all take time. We specify the suite against how the owner actually runs — night Bahamas, or dock-to-dinner — because a fishing helm and a motoryacht helm are different products that share a logo. Choose an electronics shop that will still answer the phone in Abaco when a chart card fails.
